The duo of Sise and Phillips saw audiences for their jazz events swell due to the desire for outdoor activities during the lockdown. Phillips says the festival is “a full circle experience for me since I worked on both the original Annapolis Arts Festival when I was in my 20s and the former Annapolis Jazz Festival much later.” I’ll never forget all I learned these past two years.” “That and the intrepid, protective nature of Paulina Phillips. Whether it was live, hybrid, or online, audience loyalty and support made it all possible,” says Sise, who keeps a day job as office manager of CBM Bay Weekly. “Jazz at the Mezz has been a successful combination of incredible music and a wonderful audience that made a socially distanced monthly jazz series possible in the 2020-21 season.
The jazz and arts festival is the creation of Paulina Phillips and Theresa Sise of Jazz Beyond Borders and the organizers of the Jazz at the Mezz concert series that launched last year in the courtyard of Café Mezzanotte in Severna Park. It’s a recipe for a cultural night of pleasure when Art in the Park kicks off Sept. Fine art, jazz music, wine and international cuisine.
